I'm On the hunt for a new ( used) mini simmons. I currently have an Old Joe bauguess that I actually got from Joe back in the day. 5'8".
Any one with ride history of both these makers? CC ocean racer--Mitsven mini simmons with keels
my daily is 5'10" CC fish.
Im looking at
5'8" Mitsven
5'10" Mitsven
5'10 CC
I have ridden none but they look inviting. Love the Joe bauguess just time to find something new. ( boardwhore)
looking for something less corky and able to get into wave early.
my dims are
5'8"
165lbs
thank for posting up your thoughts. .
cheers.

I have an Ocean Racer. Don‘t know anything about your other choices. I’m a full convert to twins with that big deep single concave.

FWIW, I’m 6’2 - 200 pounds

5’8 CC Fish

5’6 CC Ocean Racer

Might swap the OR for a 5’4

In my opinion a 5’10 OR is way too big for you.

I have a mitsven bump roundtail simmons quad and it's one of the best boards I've ever owned. Turns insanely well for what it is. Never been interested in a keel simmons, they seem to go really fast but straight. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Either way you can't go wrong IMO. Like duffy said I think you're going too big unless your ability calls for it (no shame in that)

My 5'8: mitsven is plenty of volume for me at 190 and I could easily go smaller.

I've surfed the ocean racer, such a fun board before I snapped it. I would buy it again in a second over a different/more traditional mini simmons. I ride a 5'6" CC fish and surfed the ocean racer at 5'2", but probably would go with a 5'4" if I were to do it again

The Ocean Racer is by far one of the finest surfboards ever made.

I think mine was 5'1... no idea why I ever sold it. Probably can't afford one now. What an idiot.:foreheadslap:

As it was being Highly recommended I wanted to see the CC OR ridden so a YouTube search revealed this if it's of any interest here,
(It's Japan I assume, so if you are like me, use your imagination. I think it's a surf-off between the Ocean Racer and a CC Twin Fish in marginal mush/crumbles.)

Ocean Racers are on sale and half off at Catalyst. 5' - 5'4

CHRISTENSON OCEAN RACER

The Ocean Racer is a special Twin Fin with many similarities to the Chris Fish but at the same time many differences. A board design that Chris Christenson himself recommends to have in every self-respecting quiver.

mini simmons like boards are going to be the next trend. Our favorite, adult learners, will be like “they’re like tomos crossed with catch surf!” It’s going to be hell, because the boards actually work.

You don’t have to ride them so short either, i know everyone wants to have the tightest turning radius so they can totally shred (see clip :rolleyes:) but if you’re in those Japan waves (or California) why not try one your own height?

more upright fins too. I like the true ames stussy twin. Boards have enough speed naturally, you can use the entire rail.
